A quiet, confident portrait of an artist at work.
In The Artist Kitty Kielland (1883) (org.: Kunstneren Kitty Kielland), Harriet Backer paints her colleague and lifelong friend Kitty Kielland with calm focus and intimate presence—an image of Nordic artistry, friendship, and quiet strength.

Where the original hangs: The original is in The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design (Nasjonalmuseet), Oslo, and is listed as being on display (Room 051 in the collection exhibition).
